Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show. In the Trump Administration two point zero kicks
off right now. We are very excited to be with
all of you. I have returned to South Florida. Clay
is still in our nation's capital. I would say we
(00:21):
were out late partying, but that would be untrue because
I went to bed early because I'm boring Clay. However,
was rocking out. Clay and the lovely miss Laura. We're
having a fantastic time. Karen and I had an early flight.
The celebrations, the feeling all across DC was incredible. It
(00:42):
was indeed electric. It was a tremendous outpouring of both
relief and joy. Big things have happened last twenty four hours.
We will lay out much of that for you. Momentarily.
You have the pardoning or partnering or commutation of J
six individuals. Well, He's just pardon them, right, So it's
(01:07):
just part across the board. So the pardning of J
six individuals, which was, you know, emotional. We'll talk to
Julie Kelly about that. In the second hour, Trump coming
out of the gates, Clay with a lot we should
get to all these executive orders. That's the main, the
mainstay of what policy has been put into effect, already,
(01:28):
designating the cartels as a foreign terrorist organization, creating the
Department of Government Efficiency, declaring a national emergency at the
southern border, pardoning about fifteen hundred j six prisoners, signing
an executive order for clarification to define on birthright citizenship,
just on and on and on. Trump was a machine.
You saw him late night last night. What was it like, Clay,
(01:51):
How are you feeling about everything? I feel like we've
hit the ground, not just running, but in a dead
sprint with this Trump team. Trump's machine.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And I think even his most zealous and ardent critics
would have to acknowledge the difference in vibe between Trump
yesterday and today. He's having another press conference at four
o'clock Eastern and the entire Biden last several years, for sure,
is staggering. This is not Hyperbolebuck, I think that Trump
(02:24):
has done more press availability and more answering of unscripted
questions already than Biden did in the last year. As
he was signing his executive orders, he was accepting questions
from inside of the Oval Office, about the choices that
he was making. Last night, at the Commander in Chief ball,
(02:44):
Trump came out around I think it was around eleven PM,
maybe ten thirty Eastern. He then came out at the
Liberty Ball sometime after eleven close to midnight, then went
to a third different inaugural ball last night, and he
started his day pre dawn in DC. So we're talking
(03:06):
about a guy going nearly twenty four hours straight. Buck,
he took the mic, he addressed the thousands of people
at both of those inaugural balls, and I believe Fox
News carried that commentary live. I've never seen anything like it.
And more importantly, I think Buck, he's making all the
(03:27):
right decisions, and he understands that he's really got And
I know we talk about eighteen months. I know we
talk about two years until the midterms where you're guaranteed
to have the House and the Senate, but really out
of the gate on the deadfast sprint, he's got six months.
Right by the time you get to the summer, it's
likely that things get bogged down. Really, he needs this
(03:50):
first six months to get absolutely the country put on
the right foot and establishing the dominance of what this
can be, and I think they realize they don't have
a lot of time to spare, and so they're going
full bore. And I just think it's incredible and it's
you know, both so socially culturally everywhere it was. It's
amazing to see also the switch in corporate America totally,
(04:15):
how it's no longer acceptable to to exclude or denigrate
half of the country for a lot some companies are
still doing it for a lot of big companies. Even
saw some sponsors last night at Suddy's inaugural balls that
you absolutely would not have seen before. So there has
been a.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Massive cultural alongside the political shift. But let's get to
the pardons for a moment here at Clay because for
a lot of people, you know, this is a big
promise made and a big promise kept. J six prisoners
were treated completely unfairly by the d C, as Julie
Kelly calls it, the DC gulag system. People locked up
(04:56):
for far longer than you know, other instances of people
getting into a riot situation with police, People locked up
for completely non violent crimes long, I mean, lives destroyed.
Here is Trump last night pardoning. This is cut four
partying about fifteen hundred j six prisoners person.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We have a list of partners and commutations relating to
covents diccurred on.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
January sixth, twenty three, and how many people.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Are with this.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I think this order will apply to possibly fifteen hundred peoples.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So this is January sixth. These are the hostages, approximately
fifteen hundred for a party full part, we'll partner commutations
full part. We have about six commutations in there. Well,
we're doing further research, so this is a big one.
(05:47):
Anything you want to explain about this, we hope they
get We hope they come out tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Frankly, it was almost all pardons. I was right in
the beginning actually when I said pardons slash commutations. There
are some commutations meaning people have let out of prison,
but they haven't necessarily had their entire conviction and every all,
you know, we're all clear on this. Clemency means your
punishment is reduced. Usually it means you're let out of prison.
(06:12):
Pardon means it's like you were never convicted. For legal purposes,
you get all of your rights back. You do you're
not considered a convicted felon. And obviously you're released if
you were in a car soral situation. So Clay, can
you imagine these and also the stakes of this election
for these individuals and their families. It was lives ruined
(06:35):
or lives save for Donald Trump to win.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's the one hundred percent right decision. As you mentioned,
we're going to talk to Julie Kelly. I'm proud that
of many different media outlets, I think we have shined
a spotlight on this even when it wasn't very popular
to do. I donated my own money to legal defense
funds for jan six. Whatever you thought about the decisions,
and look, we said, hey, don't riot, don't trust, don't
(07:00):
commit violations. But the whole purpose of the criminal justice
system is to treat like crimes in a like manner.
And the fact that Democrats protected anybody arrested and even
provided bail money for anybody arrested during BLM and there
were virtually no consequences there for a four or five
months period when the entire country was under siege, when
(07:23):
many of the cities in your states were burning down,
when there were protesters taking over large swaths of American cities,
while all the rest of people were being told you
can't go say goodbye to your grandma and grandpa who
are dying in the hospital with COVID. Suddenly doctor Fauci
comes out and says, well, we can have hundreds of
(07:44):
thousands of people marching through the streets. I think that
was the beginning of many people out there saying this
whole COVID eras bs but buck. To me, what is
significant here is if the media is being honest based
on the way Trump pardoned Hunter and then five of
his brothers and sisters. Yeah, based on the way that
(08:07):
that happened, there's no way they can criticize anything associated
with what Trump's doing with the January sixth individuals, because
this is not directly self interested for him, unlike Biden,
protecting himself and his family in an incredibly i think
unseemly manner that even CNN was saying as a stain
(08:27):
on his legacy, and I don't think Biden has much
of a legacy to start with.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well, it's also grotesque for purely political motivation to go
after people for a nonviolent crime of trespass as other
members of al Qaida or something. I mean, to send
correct BI teams to go into their homes early in
the morning, arrest them, humiliate them, destroy their lives. They're
(08:52):
jasis defendants who ended up committing suicide because they felt
their lives were destroyed. And for that to be the
case after the summer of twenty twenty, which you mentioned,
where there were BLM riots supported and encouraged from the
very top of the Democrat Party, including Kamala, raising money
for defendants all across the country. This was happening and
(09:16):
for almost no punishments that we can think of or
that we can remember, and nobody was getting and there
were horrible things being done to cops all the time,
Rocks being thrown at them, punches thrown, things like that.
I mean, that's just another day at a BLM riot.
But the politics were different and the Democrat Party was
angry and mobilized, and so the rules were different. Well
(09:38):
not anymore so that's a big one, but there's a
lot of big ones that were signed by the president
and he really, I think it's important here, Clay really
set the tone right away. I mean, just for mind everybody.
Biden came into office and he tried to stop all
deportations for one hundred days. Do you remember that oh,
(09:59):
he just so everybody can see what a difference an
election can make. And yes, elections do have consequences. Joe
Biden comes in and if effectively decides that the border
is wide open or should be wide open, he then
ended up kicking it wide open later on. But that's
something that I think you can just look at to
(10:20):
see what a different approach you have from Trump and
from Biden from the get go, one rule of law,
the other selling out the country and doing so in
a way that is so egregious that it's going to
take all of Trump's team and time for the next
four years to try to make things, if not right,
at least to turn things around and start to make
(10:43):
things orderly again and lawful again at the border. So
we shall see. But Clay, I have to say the yes,
it was. It was just it was fun to be
there and to spend time with you and the team
and see a lot of our friends in media at
all of that, but all also the substance I think
has really set the tone. This is an opening salvo
(11:07):
absolutely worthy of Trump's second term. That is setting exactly
the right tone.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Not only that as good as Trump is going to
be having already been in DC before. I think the
team that he surrounded himself with is such a huge difference.
We'll see whether we still have the usual crazy drama
from inside, all the anonymous sources the.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Media unreliable as.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They are, or as I tend to think, Well, there
be disputes and disagreements in the White House one hundred percent.
You've got really difficult decisions, and you've got people advocating
for different perspectives, and sometimes those perspectives they go public.
But I just think the elite level of talent surrounding
him is a dream team of sorts compared to what
(11:54):
he had in seventeen and Trump knows what he wants
to do, I think, from an executive perspective, far better
now than he did when he came in in seventeen.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Buck Also, I think if for anybody who is considering
or was considering working for Trump in this term, look
what they did to Trump and he still came through
and won. Yep, what's the worst they're gonna do? If
you work for Trump, They're gonna prosecute you. It's gonna
be It's gonna be okay. Trump is going to find
a way through and takes care of those He's not
(12:27):
leaving people behind on the battlefield. And this set has
a very strong message. It's not to say that there
weren't people who crossed the line on January sixth. There
were some people who crossed the line, but there were
a lot of people who really didn't do very much
at all and were treated horribly, treated like enemies of
the country that they love so very much. And Donald
(12:47):
Trump just really gave them their lives back last night.
You want to talk about a an awe inspiring use
of presidential power, they have been given their lives back.
And it was you know, so that's well, when you're
out there and you're you're clinking some I was gonna
say martini glasses, it's more like red solo cups where
we were. But that's okay, that aside, you know, but
(13:09):
when you're when you're out there and you're celebrating and
you can point to not only something really beautiful for
the future of the country, which is what I think
is going to be very clear with this administration, but
also something really meaningful for a lot of Americans, a
lot of patriots who have been suffering horribly and for
with a stroke of his pen. Trump to end that
(13:29):
suffering was an incredible thing for everyone to and we
all as soon as it was happening. That was what
was just buzzing through. They are all these different balls
and parties all over DC, and that was one where
everyone just said, my gosh, he's doing it. He's getting
right to it, not wasting a moment. We also want
to take some of your calls if you have any
questions or any thoughts you want to share. If you
(13:51):
happen to be in DC, UH love to hear from
you as well. Eight hundred and two A two two
eight A two. The lives of unborn children were saved yesterday.
That's a fact, and they will be again today, about
two hundred of them thanks to the Preborn Clinics. At
preborn Clinics nationwide, pregnant mothers receive care and support and
so often this is a life changing experience for them,
(14:12):
and it's what leads Preborn to be able to say
they save on average, two hundred tiny babies every day.
They begin this process by giving the mom to be
an ultrasound, because when a pregnant woman who is contemplating
an abortion meets the baby inside of her womb in
an environment that is caring and loving and spiritual. She
(14:35):
so often recognizes the power in her hands to give
life to this baby, and that is the choice that
she makes. That's Preborn's incredible mission. Day in and day out.
For just twenty eight dollars, you can help Preborn save
the life of an unborn child. One hundred percent of
your donation goes toward this mission. To donate now, dial
(14:56):
pound two five zero and say the keyword baby. That's

Saving America, One Thought at a Time and Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show a couple
of things out There are good friends in Houston, in
the Alabama Gulf Coasts. Some may even be calling it
the Gulf of America. All of our friends and New
Orleans area all throughout the north coast of Florida on
(15:45):
the Gulf of America, where I have my place. They're
getting slammed with snow all the way through Jacksonville. And
I'm seeing the pictures, and I know some of you
are in Wisconsin, and you're in Michigan, and you're in
upstate New York and you're rolling your eyes at this.
But New Orleans, Buck, they're saying, may get six inches
of snow. To put that in perspective, the largest, I
(16:07):
believe I'm correct in this, the largest recorded snowfall in
the history of New Orleans two point seven inches. So
everybody out there in the South, stay safe. Houston, New Orleans, Mobile, Alabama,
Panama City, Florida, Jacksonville, Tallahassee. You guys, never get snow.
Stay at home, don't try to drive anywhere, and let
(16:31):
the kids have some fun.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
This never happened.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Snow on the beach not a very common circumstance on
America's Gulf Coast. So I want to tell you guys,
make sure you stay safe. We were talking Buck about
Trump answering more questions than Biden has in an entire year.
In his first day. He sat at the resolute desk
as he was signing executive orders and fielded questions from
(16:55):
the media. Our good buddy Peter Deucey who probably has
a fan in Donald Trump, I would imagine, asked if
Joe Biden left him a note in the resolute desk,
as has become a presidential trend. Trump hadn't even thought
about it. This is live on the air.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Listen to that question in Trump's reactions. An usual letter
he may.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Have, don't they leave it in the desk?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What's in their Coupeter.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It could have been years before we go, wow, thank.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
You the outside. Maybe we should not read it together.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Let's read it well, maybe I'll read it first and
then make that determined. Peter, thank you very much. I
may not have seen this for months.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Happy to help with the passing of the torch I
left to one in the desks.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay, so the trend that you leave a desk note there,
Trump hadn't even thought about it, According to the way
that played out. All right, chalk, I need some chalk,

Speaker 6 (18:51):
Clee Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. It is a great week,
a great time for America. It's we're still just getting
used to here on Clay and Buck the doing a
show with Trump as president. We've both done shows in
the past separately. We did our own shows for years
where Trump was president. But now we're together and it
has been Biden nothing but Biden zil now and man,
(19:20):
it's funny too, I think other than just discussing the
complete and utter failures and incompetence of Biden here and there,
and we're not going to dwell on that, but I
don't think he's going to come up very much. I
think the Biden legacy is really one of leaving the
Democrat Party in tatters on his way out and the media,
(19:42):
you know, the whole It's not even just the electoral
win that Trump had. We've talked about the cultural shift,
the changing attitude in corporate America, all of that factors in,
but also the media has just and I mean the
lunatic Democrat media has been defanged. It is they got
(20:04):
nothing right now. I know they're trying. Oh they're trying
to say something about look at how Elon moved his hand.
Shut up, you babies. We're all it's all, we're all
tired of. It doesn't work anymore. Uh So that's I
think a really big change. But something else, Clay, and
this was top of mind yesterday, I think for a
lot of us watching as these executive orders got signed,
(20:26):
I know it's a team effort, and Trump is the guy,
you know, he is the decider, and there's a team
behind him, But I think it's pretty clear that some
of the brilliant Stephen Miller's fingerprints are on some of
these early eos because of the focus on the borders.
You remember, Steven I was a friend of the show.
Was really Trump's, you know, Trump's sort of brain trust
(20:51):
on border issues in the first term, and what is
incredibly well versed on these issues and really sees the
big picture. The the slew of executive orders dealing with
the border, I think shows what a focus it's going
to be for the country, for the presidency and for
the country. Here is Trump. Let's start with this one
(21:13):
on this is cut five. This is on birthright citizenship
and what's going on with this play it?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
This next order relates to the definition and a birth
right citizenship.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I'm in the fourteenth Amendment of the United States, and it's.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
A good one. Birthright, that's a big one.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
What about that one in the court? That one could
be you think we have good grounds, but you could
be right. I mean, you'll find out it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
We're the only country in the world that does this
with birthright, as you know, and it's just absolutely ridiculous.
But you know, we'll see we think it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
We have a very good uns Clay. I just it's funny.
It's so trumpy to be signing something so consequent and
be like, yeah, that's a good one. Let's get uh,
let's get that one. Very very casual about it. I
know it's going to go into the courts right away.
We've discussed it a little bit. I actually think that
eventually the anchor baby scam will It might be five
(22:13):
to four, it might be six to three, but I
think the Supreme Court's going to say no, subject to
the jurisdiction thereof means that if you're a foreign national
from another country and you come here, your subject to
their jurisdiction. You are not subject for the purposes of
the law, to our jurisdiction for citizenship purposes.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, and look, this is one that I just don't
think has gotten very much discussion, and I think Trump
deserves immense credit for even bringing it into the so
called Overton window of discussion. We've talked about this on
the show quite a lot. There are two primary reasons
that people come to the United States illegally. One is jobs.
You can make way more money working in the United
(22:51):
States than you can anywhere most of the time that
these people are coming from. Okay, so that is an
incentive that is actually a direct result of our incredibly
dynamic capitalistic environment for jobs. Okay, that's hard to remove.
Second one, though, is that people come and they come
because they want to have a baby inside of the
(23:14):
soil of the United States, which automatically makes their children
citizens and means you basically have a really big difficulty
in removing the parents as a result. Second one shouldn't exist,
and again some people get confused. Your mom or dad
being a citizen of the United States. You should be
a citizen of the United States. It's a very standard right.
(23:36):
But most countries Trump is right, in the world do
not allow you to become a citizen of that country
simply because you were born there. For instance, if you Buck,
You've got a baby coming in April, which is gonna
be awesome. Your wife, Carrie incredible trooper running all over
Frozen DC this weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
She was amazing. She's almost seven months pregnant. It was
like five degrees outside and I was trying to keep
up with So if you guys, for some reason, when
you were in Spain, when you went over there, during
the holidays.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
If you had had a baby over there, your child
wouldn't also be a Spanish citizen. And most people out
there would say, okay, that makes sense. Just because you
happen to travel somewhere and have a baby should not
make your child a citizen. And this is actually, and
it's important, a vestige of the colonial era, which everybody
now claims is awful, because if you wanted somebody to
(24:29):
get on a ship and come from England to the
New World, to the colonies, you had to let people know, hey,
your kid is still going to be a British subject.
Hey your kid is still going to be a subject
of Spain, or of France, or of any other country
with New World colonies. That's why this exists. It is
(24:51):
a vestige of the colonial era and it should not exist.
And most of our compatriot countries in the industrial realized
world do not allow this to occur. And I believe
the courts should say, if we want to do this,
we have to pass a law saying it.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Bank robbery is bad. If you go into a bank
and you steal money, we all agree, you know, well,
I think all normal people agree that that's bad. That's
a crime. You shouldn't do that. If you were to
take that money though, and give it to your children,
you don't then get to say, well, hold on a second,
Yes I did a bad thing, but it's not my
(25:28):
kid's fault and they're using it to pay for college
or something. Right, No, they're going to take the money.
You're not allowed to profit from a crime. With the
Anchor baby scam, that's what happens. It incentivizes people to
violate US sovereignty and violate the law. So that's why
(25:49):
I mean. And Trump was speaking under his breath a
little bit about this, He's like, this is absurd. Other
countries don't do this. Why should we do this? When
all these other countries that the Democrats love to point
to and say, look at how sophisticated they are with
their like tiny little espresso cups and whatever. They love
to point to them and say look how they do things.
But on this issue, you won't find another developed country
(26:12):
with with you know, a welfare state that people want
to be in. Okay, I don't know about the laws
in every country, but you will not find another country
where if you just show up illegally, you know, you
run across the truly run across their border on foot
and you have a baby you get to you don't
get to turn around and say, well, now i'm that
my child is a citizen of your country. Yes, it
(26:34):
makes no sense. There's no reason for this to to
be something that we've even been allowing as long as
we have. That's one big part of the I know
it's going to go to the courts, we all know that,
but that battle has to happen. That clarification is necessary
now on this is cut one. Designating the Cartels as
(26:56):
a foreign terrorist organization has cut one player.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
This is actually an executive order desigating the Cartels and
other organizations to be for terrorist organizations.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
It's a big one. Yes, sir, people have wanted to
do this for years, so they are now designated as
stereost organizations. Far in and from Mexico probably doesn't want that.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
We have to do play. There are a lot of
implications of this, yes, sorry, yeah, a lot of implications
of this. It's first and foremost, I think people they
start to think about what what does this mean? That
there's going to be both special operations and intelligence agency
(27:44):
activity treating this, treating whatever the Cartels what there's like
a nuevo generation cartel. I mean, I've got to brush
up on all my cartel of my cartel updates here.
You know, there's there's in a loa cartel. But yes,
there'll be the possibility of some kind of military action.
A big part of it those how you can use
(28:06):
the foreign Terrorist Organization designation for financial reasons. Now you're
talking about it's going in seizing assets. You know, we
have a tremendous amount of leverage in the international banking system.
So there's a bunch of things, a bunch of tools
that this brings to bear. This, though, could get really messy,
really fast, really violent, really fast. I remember what it
(28:29):
was like in the latter part of the Bush administration.
And remember when Mexico's President Vicente Fox. There were tens
of thousands of people who were dying in the cartel
wars at that time in Mexico. Not Americans but occasionally Americans,
but it was almost all Mexicans dying in that crossfire.
Really taking on the cartels is necessary, but it's also
(28:52):
it's also a major challenge. Yes, and.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So much of this is not only about what you do,
it's about putting Mexico on notice that if they don't
clean up some of their act they are going to
be consequences. And I don't think you can understate this. Remember,
Buck remain in Mexico was really sort of a compromise
that was reached between you can correct me if I'm
wrong on this, VINCENTE. Fox at the time, and Donald
(29:21):
Trump because Mexico was basically just funneling anybody who came
into their country, basically waving the green flag and letting
them continue to our border. And as soon as people
started getting stuck in Mexico, Mexico was not giving as
much clarity and ease of transgress to anyone trying to
(29:41):
get to our country, and that bottleneck filtered all the
way down. Look, so much of this is just letting
people know, Hey, you can't go to America. Check into
a hotel in New York City, get free Wi Fi
and free meals, and the American taxpayer is going to
pay for it. And as soon as that incentives structure
is removed and people begin to see it Buck, then
(30:04):
the consequences of their decision making changes tremendously. Remember the
guy right after Biden got inaugurated, the guy coming across
the border in a Biden T shirt. You don't even
see Biden T shirts anymore. And I remember seeing him
interviewed and he said, why are you coming, and he
basically said, because Joe Biden wants us to come. That
was the message we all shared with those individuals, and
(30:26):
Trump's actions have finally started to punch back on that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yes, and also Trump deciding, you know that we don't
actually have to live in a country where we have
over one hundred thousand people dying of drug overdose every year.
And I think a lot of it, it should be remembered,
is actually poisoning people. Because they don't they'll they'll take
(30:53):
what's called the hot match. The cartels will adulterate what
you You think you're getting an a legal drug, right,
you think you're getting a fentanyl on the black market,
but they mix things into it makes it particularly lethal.
They will change things such that there's a much higher
(31:15):
concentration of the drug. Anyway, people die from it. Trump
says enough, he says, we're not going to do this anymore.
He says, we're not going to just say, well, I
guess this is what living you know, next to Mexico,
means we're going to have these cartels that are pushing
billions of dollars of poison into our communities. And we
always focus on the fatalities for obvious reasons. But for
(31:36):
every person who dies of a drug overdose, think of
the devastation that the family suffers. Think of just all
the loss of productivity and the loss of future, loss
of future years of life. So it's a big move
what Trump has done here. And I think that going
for the border clay right from the outset makes a
(31:57):
lot of sense and is putting them on a path
play right off the bat to tackle the most important
issues from the from what he promised from the campaign
and from his first term. Yeah, Bucky, and your point
on the fentanyl is a really good one. Remember, a
lot of people are dying because they're not even trying
to take fentanyl. It's just laced in other products. In
(32:17):
other words, a lot of Americans are getting poisoned thinking
they're taking something else. And then because we're not talking
about the greatest safeguards oftentimes, when it comes to creating
this product and it's laced into other drugs that someone
would never have taken. Sometimes not even you know, a
party drug, right, an ecstasy or something that a that
(32:39):
a you know, young teenager could decide to be exposed to.
I mean, there are people out there who use cocaine.
You can say, hey, that's not a smart move, but
because of the lacings that are associated with it, they
now are having to test that, right, And so I
think poisoning actually should be talked about more as a
cause of death as opposed to over because an overdose
(33:01):
is an intentional in some way use of a drug.
A lot of people are dying and never even knowing
that they were taking the risk that they were by
using that product. And I think that's why poisoning, to
describe some of these hundred thousand desks deaths, is actually
much more appropos and that becomes much more akin to
a murder. We'll talk about some more of this and
(33:21):

Regular guys, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on
the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show, Buck is
in Miami, I'm in DC.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Bucks. Wi Fi has evidently gone out. Power may have
gone out. I'm solo. We'll see when Buck can come
back and join us. But I wanted to let you know.
Crockett Coffee is amazing and I used it this morning
because I needed it this morning after I got back
after two thirty awesome night celebrating Trump, but an earth
morning tern to do Fox News this morning and now
(35:03):
we're powering in here in the Washington, DC studio. So
go check it out Crocketcofee dot com. I'll sign a
book for you headed back home to Nashville this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And when I do that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you sign up and get subscribed, you will get
an autograph copy of my most recent book if you
use codebook at Crocketcoffee dot com. The lies are coming
fast and furious already, as desperation is setting in on
the left. And now if you supported Trump, you're like
a poor person during the Civil War who fought for
(35:36):
the South. That's according to MSNBC. Listen to this cut
is the same.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Thing repeating itself of what happened in the Civil War
in the aftermath, where the working class whites of the
South who had nothing to benefit by maintaining the system,
nothing because they got nothing out of it. They got
nothing out of the plantations, they got nothing out of it.
But we're convinced, because of cultural sort of language and division,
that a white working class who should have sided with
(36:02):
the North in this, and should have sided with more
freedom and should have sided with the freed slaves, ended
up becoming part of that sort of awful thing, and
that led through civil rights and that powerful people.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And this is my fear today.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Back then, powerful people convinced the white working class was
not the rich, wasn't the enemy who were gobbling up everything.
It was these cultural elites that were the enemy in
their mind. And it's the same thing is happening today.
The powerful people are trying to segment off the white
working class who are getting no benefit from this and
will suffer in the Trump premiacy in the Trump presidency.
(36:36):
But the same thing is repeating itself.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
MSNBC thinks you're morons if you voted for Trump and
that you believe in slavery. Ironic move in many ways,
considering this is the largest amount of black and Hispanics
support we have seen since nineteen sixty four or more.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Act
Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show. In the Trump Administration two point zero kicks
off right now. We are very excited to be with
all of you. I have returned to South Florida. Clay
is still in our nation's capital. I would say we
(00:21):
were out late partying, but that would be untrue because
I went to bed early because I'm boring Clay. However,
was rocking out. Clay and the lovely miss Laura. We're
having a fantastic time. Karen and I had an early flight.
The celebrations, the feeling all across DC was incredible. It
(00:42):
was indeed electric. It was a tremendous outpouring of both
relief and joy. Big things have happened last twenty four hours.
We will lay out much of that for you. Momentarily.
You have the pardoning or partnering or commutation of J
six individuals. Well, He's just pardon them, right, So it's
(01:07):
just part across the board. So the pardning of J
six individuals, which was, you know, emotional. We'll talk to
Julie Kelly about that. In the second hour, Trump coming
out of the gates, Clay with a lot we should
get to all these executive orders. That's the main, the
mainstay of what policy has been put into effect, already,
(01:28):
designating the cartels as a foreign terrorist organization, creating the
Department of Government Efficiency, declaring a national emergency at the
southern border, pardoning about fifteen hundred j six prisoners, signing
an executive order for clarification to define on birthright citizenship,
just on and on and on. Trump was a machine.
You saw him late night last night. What was it like, Clay,
(01:51):
How are you feeling about everything? I feel like we've
hit the ground, not just running, but in a dead
sprint with this Trump team. Trump's machine.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And I think even his most zealous and ardent critics
would have to acknowledge the difference in vibe between Trump
yesterday and today. He's having another press conference at four
o'clock Eastern and the entire Biden last several years, for sure,
is staggering. This is not Hyperbolebuck, I think that Trump
(02:24):
has done more press availability and more answering of unscripted
questions already than Biden did in the last year. As
he was signing his executive orders, he was accepting questions
from inside of the Oval Office, about the choices that
he was making. Last night, at the Commander in Chief ball,
(02:44):
Trump came out around I think it was around eleven PM,
maybe ten thirty Eastern. He then came out at the
Liberty Ball sometime after eleven close to midnight, then went
to a third different inaugural ball last night, and he
started his day pre dawn in DC. So we're talking
(03:06):
about a guy going nearly twenty four hours straight. Buck,
he took the mic, he addressed the thousands of people
at both of those inaugural balls, and I believe Fox
News carried that commentary live. I've never seen anything like it.
And more importantly, I think Buck, he's making all the
(03:27):
right decisions, and he understands that he's really got And
I know we talk about eighteen months. I know we
talk about two years until the midterms where you're guaranteed
to have the House and the Senate, but really out
of the gate on the deadfast sprint, he's got six months.
Right by the time you get to the summer, it's
likely that things get bogged down. Really, he needs this
(03:50):
first six months to get absolutely the country put on
the right foot and establishing the dominance of what this
can be, and I think they realize they don't have
a lot of time to spare, and so they're going
full bore. And I just think it's incredible and it's
you know, both so socially culturally everywhere it was. It's
amazing to see also the switch in corporate America totally,
(04:15):
how it's no longer acceptable to to exclude or denigrate
half of the country for a lot some companies are
still doing it for a lot of big companies. Even
saw some sponsors last night at Suddy's inaugural balls that
you absolutely would not have seen before. So there has
been a.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Massive cultural alongside the political shift. But let's get to
the pardons for a moment here at Clay because for
a lot of people, you know, this is a big
promise made and a big promise kept. J six prisoners
were treated completely unfairly by the d C, as Julie
Kelly calls it, the DC gulag system. People locked up
(04:56):
for far longer than you know, other instances of people
getting into a riot situation with police, People locked up
for completely non violent crimes long, I mean, lives destroyed.
Here is Trump last night pardoning. This is cut four
partying about fifteen hundred j six prisoners person.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We have a list of partners and commutations relating to
covents diccurred on.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
January sixth, twenty three, and how many people.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Are with this.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I think this order will apply to possibly fifteen hundred peoples.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So this is January sixth. These are the hostages, approximately
fifteen hundred for a party full part, we'll partner commutations
full part. We have about six commutations in there. Well,
we're doing further research, so this is a big one.
(05:47):
Anything you want to explain about this, we hope they
get We hope they come out tonight.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Frankly, it was almost all pardons. I was right in
the beginning actually when I said pardons slash commutations. There
are some commutations meaning people have let out of prison,
but they haven't necessarily had their entire conviction and every all,
you know, we're all clear on this. Clemency means your
punishment is reduced. Usually it means you're let out of prison.
(06:12):
Pardon means it's like you were never convicted. For legal purposes,
you get all of your rights back. You do you're
not considered a convicted felon. And obviously you're released if
you were in a car soral situation. So Clay, can
you imagine these and also the stakes of this election
for these individuals and their families. It was lives ruined
(06:35):
or lives save for Donald Trump to win.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's the one hundred percent right decision. As you mentioned,
we're going to talk to Julie Kelly. I'm proud that
of many different media outlets, I think we have shined
a spotlight on this even when it wasn't very popular
to do. I donated my own money to legal defense
funds for jan six. Whatever you thought about the decisions,
and look, we said, hey, don't riot, don't trust, don't
(07:00):
commit violations. But the whole purpose of the criminal justice
system is to treat like crimes in a like manner.
And the fact that Democrats protected anybody arrested and even
provided bail money for anybody arrested during BLM and there
were virtually no consequences there for a four or five
months period when the entire country was under siege, when
(07:23):
many of the cities in your states were burning down,
when there were protesters taking over large swaths of American cities,
while all the rest of people were being told you
can't go say goodbye to your grandma and grandpa who
are dying in the hospital with COVID. Suddenly doctor Fauci
comes out and says, well, we can have hundreds of
(07:44):
thousands of people marching through the streets. I think that
was the beginning of many people out there saying this
whole COVID eras bs but buck. To me, what is
significant here is if the media is being honest based
on the way Trump pardoned Hunter and then five of
his brothers and sisters. Yeah, based on the way that
(08:07):
that happened, there's no way they can criticize anything associated
with what Trump's doing with the January sixth individuals, because
this is not directly self interested for him, unlike Biden,
protecting himself and his family in an incredibly i think
unseemly manner that even CNN was saying as a stain
(08:27):
on his legacy, and I don't think Biden has much
of a legacy to start with.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well, it's also grotesque for purely political motivation to go
after people for a nonviolent crime of trespass as other
members of al Qaida or something. I mean, to send
correct BI teams to go into their homes early in
the morning, arrest them, humiliate them, destroy their lives. They're
(08:52):
jasis defendants who ended up committing suicide because they felt
their lives were destroyed. And for that to be the
case after the summer of twenty twenty, which you mentioned,
where there were BLM riots supported and encouraged from the
very top of the Democrat Party, including Kamala, raising money
for defendants all across the country. This was happening and
(09:16):
for almost no punishments that we can think of or
that we can remember, and nobody was getting and there
were horrible things being done to cops all the time,
Rocks being thrown at them, punches thrown, things like that.
I mean, that's just another day at a BLM riot.
But the politics were different and the Democrat Party was
angry and mobilized, and so the rules were different. Well
(09:38):
not anymore so that's a big one, but there's a
lot of big ones that were signed by the president
and he really, I think it's important here, Clay really
set the tone right away. I mean, just for mind everybody.
Biden came into office and he tried to stop all
deportations for one hundred days. Do you remember that oh,
(09:59):
he just so everybody can see what a difference an
election can make. And yes, elections do have consequences. Joe
Biden comes in and if effectively decides that the border
is wide open or should be wide open, he then
ended up kicking it wide open later on. But that's
something that I think you can just look at to
(10:20):
see what a different approach you have from Trump and
from Biden from the get go, one rule of law,
the other selling out the country and doing so in
a way that is so egregious that it's going to
take all of Trump's team and time for the next
four years to try to make things, if not right,
at least to turn things around and start to make
(10:43):
things orderly again and lawful again at the border. So
we shall see. But Clay, I have to say the yes,
it was. It was just it was fun to be
there and to spend time with you and the team
and see a lot of our friends in media at
all of that, but all also the substance I think
has really set the tone. This is an opening salvo
(11:07):
absolutely worthy of Trump's second term. That is setting exactly
the right tone.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Not only that as good as Trump is going to
be having already been in DC before. I think the
team that he surrounded himself with is such a huge difference.
We'll see whether we still have the usual crazy drama
from inside, all the anonymous sources the.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Media unreliable as.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They are, or as I tend to think, Well, there
be disputes and disagreements in the White House one hundred percent.
You've got really difficult decisions, and you've got people advocating
for different perspectives, and sometimes those perspectives they go public.
But I just think the elite level of talent surrounding
him is a dream team of sorts compared to what
(11:54):
he had in seventeen and Trump knows what he wants
to do, I think, from an executive perspective, far better
now than he did when he came in in seventeen.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Buck Also, I think if for anybody who is considering
or was considering working for Trump in this term, look
what they did to Trump and he still came through
and won. Yep, what's the worst they're gonna do? If
you work for Trump, They're gonna prosecute you. It's gonna
be It's gonna be okay. Trump is going to find
a way through and takes care of those He's not
(12:27):
leaving people behind on the battlefield. And this set has
a very strong message. It's not to say that there
weren't people who crossed the line on January sixth. There
were some people who crossed the line, but there were
a lot of people who really didn't do very much
at all and were treated horribly, treated like enemies of
the country that they love so very much. And Donald
(12:47):
Trump just really gave them their lives back last night.
You want to talk about a an awe inspiring use
of presidential power, they have been given their lives back.
And it was you know, so that's well, when you're
out there and you're you're clinking some I was gonna
say martini glasses, it's more like red solo cups where
we were. But that's okay, that aside, you know, but
(13:09):
when you're when you're out there and you're celebrating and
you can point to not only something really beautiful for
the future of the country, which is what I think
is going to be very clear with this administration, but
also something really meaningful for a lot of Americans, a
lot of patriots who have been suffering horribly and for
with a stroke of his pen. Trump to end that
(13:29):
suffering was an incredible thing for everyone to and we
all as soon as it was happening. That was what
was just buzzing through. They are all these different balls
and parties all over DC, and that was one where
everyone just said, my gosh, he's doing it. He's getting
right to it, not wasting a moment. We also want
to take some of your calls if you have any
questions or any thoughts you want to share. If you
(13:51):
happen to be in DC, UH love to hear from
you as well. Eight hundred and two A two two
eight A two. The lives of unborn children were saved yesterday.
That's a fact, and they will be again today, about
two hundred of them thanks to the Preborn Clinics. At
preborn Clinics nationwide, pregnant mothers receive care and support and
so often this is a life changing experience for them,
(14:12):
and it's what leads Preborn to be able to say
they save on average, two hundred tiny babies every day.
They begin this process by giving the mom to be
an ultrasound, because when a pregnant woman who is contemplating
an abortion meets the baby inside of her womb in
an environment that is caring and loving and spiritual. She
(14:35):
so often recognizes the power in her hands to give
life to this baby, and that is the choice that
she makes. That's Preborn's incredible mission. Day in and day out.
For just twenty eight dollars, you can help Preborn save
the life of an unborn child. One hundred percent of
your donation goes toward this mission. To donate now, dial

Saving America, One Thought at a Time and Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton find them on the free iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show a couple
of things out There are good friends in Houston, in
the Alabama Gulf Coasts. Some may even be calling it
the Gulf of America. All of our friends and New
Orleans area all throughout the north coast of Florida on
(15:45):
the Gulf of America, where I have my place. They're
getting slammed with snow all the way through Jacksonville. And
I'm seeing the pictures, and I know some of you
are in Wisconsin, and you're in Michigan, and you're in
upstate New York and you're rolling your eyes at this.
But New Orleans, Buck, they're saying, may get six inches
of snow. To put that in perspective, the largest, I
(16:07):
believe I'm correct in this, the largest recorded snowfall in
the history of New Orleans two point seven inches. So
everybody out there in the South, stay safe. Houston, New Orleans, Mobile, Alabama,
Panama City, Florida, Jacksonville, Tallahassee. You guys, never get snow.
Stay at home, don't try to drive anywhere, and let
(16:31):
the kids have some fun.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
This never happened.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Snow on the beach not a very common circumstance on
America's Gulf Coast. So I want to tell you guys,
make sure you stay safe. We were talking Buck about
Trump answering more questions than Biden has in an entire year.
In his first day. He sat at the resolute desk
as he was signing executive orders and fielded questions from
(16:55):
the media. Our good buddy Peter Deucey who probably has
a fan in Donald Trump, I would imagine, asked if
Joe Biden left him a note in the resolute desk,
as has become a presidential trend. Trump hadn't even thought
about it. This is live on the air.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Listen to that question in Trump's reactions. An usual letter
he may.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Have, don't they leave it in the desk?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What's in their Coupeter.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It could have been years before we go, wow, thank.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
You the outside. Maybe we should not read it together.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Let's read it well, maybe I'll read it first and
then make that determined. Peter, thank you very much. I
may not have seen this for months.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Happy to help with the passing of the torch I
left to one in the desks.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay, so the trend that you leave a desk note there,
Trump hadn't even thought about it, According to the way
that played out. All right, chalk, I need some chalk,

Speaker 6 (18:51):
Clee Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. It is a great week,
a great time for America. It's we're still just getting
used to here on Clay and Buck the doing a
show with Trump as president. We've both done shows in
the past separately. We did our own shows for years
where Trump was president. But now we're together and it
has been Biden nothing but Biden zil now and man,
(19:20):
it's funny too, I think other than just discussing the
complete and utter failures and incompetence of Biden here and there,
and we're not going to dwell on that, but I
don't think he's going to come up very much. I
think the Biden legacy is really one of leaving the
Democrat Party in tatters on his way out and the media,
(19:42):
you know, the whole It's not even just the electoral
win that Trump had. We've talked about the cultural shift,
the changing attitude in corporate America, all of that factors in,
but also the media has just and I mean the
lunatic Democrat media has been defanged. It is they got
(20:04):
nothing right now. I know they're trying. Oh they're trying
to say something about look at how Elon moved his hand.
Shut up, you babies. We're all it's all, we're all
tired of. It doesn't work anymore. Uh So that's I
think a really big change. But something else, Clay, and
this was top of mind yesterday, I think for a
lot of us watching as these executive orders got signed,
(20:26):
I know it's a team effort, and Trump is the guy,
you know, he is the decider, and there's a team
behind him, But I think it's pretty clear that some
of the brilliant Stephen Miller's fingerprints are on some of
these early eos because of the focus on the borders.
You remember, Steven I was a friend of the show.
Was really Trump's, you know, Trump's sort of brain trust
(20:51):
on border issues in the first term, and what is
incredibly well versed on these issues and really sees the
big picture. The the slew of executive orders dealing with
the border, I think shows what a focus it's going
to be for the country, for the presidency and for
the country. Here is Trump. Let's start with this one
(21:13):
on this is cut five. This is on birthright citizenship
and what's going on with this play it?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
This next order relates to the definition and a birth
right citizenship.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I'm in the fourteenth Amendment of the United States, and it's.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
A good one. Birthright, that's a big one.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
What about that one in the court? That one could
be you think we have good grounds, but you could
be right. I mean, you'll find out it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
We're the only country in the world that does this
with birthright, as you know, and it's just absolutely ridiculous.
But you know, we'll see we think it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
We have a very good uns Clay. I just it's funny.
It's so trumpy to be signing something so consequent and
be like, yeah, that's a good one. Let's get uh,
let's get that one. Very very casual about it. I
know it's going to go into the courts right away.
We've discussed it a little bit. I actually think that
eventually the anchor baby scam will It might be five
(22:13):
to four, it might be six to three, but I
think the Supreme Court's going to say no, subject to
the jurisdiction thereof means that if you're a foreign national
from another country and you come here, your subject to
their jurisdiction. You are not subject for the purposes of
the law, to our jurisdiction for citizenship purposes.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, and look, this is one that I just don't
think has gotten very much discussion, and I think Trump
deserves immense credit for even bringing it into the so
called Overton window of discussion. We've talked about this on
the show quite a lot. There are two primary reasons
that people come to the United States illegally. One is jobs.
You can make way more money working in the United
(22:51):
States than you can anywhere most of the time that
these people are coming from. Okay, so that is an
incentive that is actually a direct result of our incredibly
dynamic capitalistic environment for jobs. Okay, that's hard to remove.
Second one, though, is that people come and they come
because they want to have a baby inside of the
(23:14):
soil of the United States, which automatically makes their children
citizens and means you basically have a really big difficulty
in removing the parents as a result. Second one shouldn't exist,
and again some people get confused. Your mom or dad
being a citizen of the United States. You should be
a citizen of the United States. It's a very standard right.
(23:36):
But most countries Trump is right, in the world do
not allow you to become a citizen of that country
simply because you were born there. For instance, if you Buck,
You've got a baby coming in April, which is gonna
be awesome. Your wife, Carrie incredible trooper running all over
Frozen DC this weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
She was amazing. She's almost seven months pregnant. It was
like five degrees outside and I was trying to keep
up with So if you guys, for some reason, when
you were in Spain, when you went over there, during
the holidays.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
If you had had a baby over there, your child
wouldn't also be a Spanish citizen. And most people out
there would say, okay, that makes sense. Just because you
happen to travel somewhere and have a baby should not
make your child a citizen. And this is actually, and
it's important, a vestige of the colonial era, which everybody
now claims is awful, because if you wanted somebody to
(24:29):
get on a ship and come from England to the
New World, to the colonies, you had to let people know, hey,
your kid is still going to be a British subject.
Hey your kid is still going to be a subject
of Spain, or of France, or of any other country
with New World colonies. That's why this exists. It is
(24:51):
a vestige of the colonial era and it should not exist.
And most of our compatriot countries in the industrial realized
world do not allow this to occur. And I believe
the courts should say, if we want to do this,
we have to pass a law saying it.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Bank robbery is bad. If you go into a bank
and you steal money, we all agree, you know, well,
I think all normal people agree that that's bad. That's
a crime. You shouldn't do that. If you were to
take that money though, and give it to your children,
you don't then get to say, well, hold on a second,
Yes I did a bad thing, but it's not my
(25:28):
kid's fault and they're using it to pay for college
or something. Right, No, they're going to take the money.
You're not allowed to profit from a crime. With the
Anchor baby scam, that's what happens. It incentivizes people to
violate US sovereignty and violate the law. So that's why
(25:49):
I mean. And Trump was speaking under his breath a
little bit about this, He's like, this is absurd. Other
countries don't do this. Why should we do this? When
all these other countries that the Democrats love to point
to and say, look at how sophisticated they are with
their like tiny little espresso cups and whatever. They love
to point to them and say look how they do things.
But on this issue, you won't find another developed country
(26:12):
with with you know, a welfare state that people want
to be in. Okay, I don't know about the laws
in every country, but you will not find another country
where if you just show up illegally, you know, you
run across the truly run across their border on foot
and you have a baby you get to you don't
get to turn around and say, well, now i'm that
my child is a citizen of your country. Yes, it
(26:34):
makes no sense. There's no reason for this to to
be something that we've even been allowing as long as
we have. That's one big part of the I know
it's going to go to the courts, we all know that,
but that battle has to happen. That clarification is necessary
now on this is cut one. Designating the Cartels as
(26:56):
a foreign terrorist organization has cut one player.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
This is actually an executive order desigating the Cartels and
other organizations to be for terrorist organizations.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
It's a big one. Yes, sir, people have wanted to
do this for years, so they are now designated as
stereost organizations. Far in and from Mexico probably doesn't want that.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
We have to do play. There are a lot of
implications of this, yes, sorry, yeah, a lot of implications
of this. It's first and foremost, I think people they
start to think about what what does this mean? That
there's going to be both special operations and intelligence agency
(27:44):
activity treating this, treating whatever the Cartels what there's like
a nuevo generation cartel. I mean, I've got to brush
up on all my cartel of my cartel updates here.
You know, there's there's in a loa cartel. But yes,
there'll be the possibility of some kind of military action.
A big part of it those how you can use
(28:06):
the foreign Terrorist Organization designation for financial reasons. Now you're
talking about it's going in seizing assets. You know, we
have a tremendous amount of leverage in the international banking system.
So there's a bunch of things, a bunch of tools
that this brings to bear. This, though, could get really messy,
really fast, really violent, really fast. I remember what it
(28:29):
was like in the latter part of the Bush administration.
And remember when Mexico's President Vicente Fox. There were tens
of thousands of people who were dying in the cartel
wars at that time in Mexico. Not Americans but occasionally Americans,
but it was almost all Mexicans dying in that crossfire.
Really taking on the cartels is necessary, but it's also
(28:52):
it's also a major challenge. Yes, and.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So much of this is not only about what you do,
it's about putting Mexico on notice that if they don't
clean up some of their act they are going to
be consequences. And I don't think you can understate this. Remember,
Buck remain in Mexico was really sort of a compromise
that was reached between you can correct me if I'm
wrong on this, VINCENTE. Fox at the time, and Donald
(29:21):
Trump because Mexico was basically just funneling anybody who came
into their country, basically waving the green flag and letting
them continue to our border. And as soon as people
started getting stuck in Mexico, Mexico was not giving as
much clarity and ease of transgress to anyone trying to
(29:41):
get to our country, and that bottleneck filtered all the
way down. Look, so much of this is just letting
people know, Hey, you can't go to America. Check into
a hotel in New York City, get free Wi Fi
and free meals, and the American taxpayer is going to
pay for it. And as soon as that incentives structure
is removed and people begin to see it Buck, then
(30:04):
the consequences of their decision making changes tremendously. Remember the
guy right after Biden got inaugurated, the guy coming across
the border in a Biden T shirt. You don't even
see Biden T shirts anymore. And I remember seeing him
interviewed and he said, why are you coming, and he
basically said, because Joe Biden wants us to come. That
was the message we all shared with those individuals, and
(30:26):
Trump's actions have finally started to punch back on that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yes, and also Trump deciding, you know that we don't
actually have to live in a country where we have
over one hundred thousand people dying of drug overdose every year.
And I think a lot of it, it should be remembered,
is actually poisoning people. Because they don't they'll they'll take
(30:53):
what's called the hot match. The cartels will adulterate what
you You think you're getting an a legal drug, right,
you think you're getting a fentanyl on the black market,
but they mix things into it makes it particularly lethal.
They will change things such that there's a much higher
(31:15):
concentration of the drug. Anyway, people die from it. Trump
says enough, he says, we're not going to do this anymore.
He says, we're not going to just say, well, I
guess this is what living you know, next to Mexico,
means we're going to have these cartels that are pushing
billions of dollars of poison into our communities. And we
always focus on the fatalities for obvious reasons. But for
(31:36):
every person who dies of a drug overdose, think of
the devastation that the family suffers. Think of just all
the loss of productivity and the loss of future, loss
of future years of life. So it's a big move
what Trump has done here. And I think that going
for the border clay right from the outset makes a
(31:57):
lot of sense and is putting them on a path
play right off the bat to tackle the most important
issues from the from what he promised from the campaign
and from his first term. Yeah, Bucky, and your point
on the fentanyl is a really good one. Remember, a
lot of people are dying because they're not even trying
to take fentanyl. It's just laced in other products. In
(32:17):
other words, a lot of Americans are getting poisoned thinking
they're taking something else. And then because we're not talking
about the greatest safeguards oftentimes, when it comes to creating
this product and it's laced into other drugs that someone
would never have taken. Sometimes not even you know, a
party drug, right, an ecstasy or something that a that
(32:39):
a you know, young teenager could decide to be exposed to.
I mean, there are people out there who use cocaine.
You can say, hey, that's not a smart move, but
because of the lacings that are associated with it, they
now are having to test that, right, And so I
think poisoning actually should be talked about more as a
cause of death as opposed to over because an overdose
(33:01):
is an intentional in some way use of a drug.
A lot of people are dying and never even knowing
that they were taking the risk that they were by
using that product. And I think that's why poisoning, to
describe some of these hundred thousand desks deaths, is actually
much more appropos and that becomes much more akin to
a murder. We'll talk about some more of this and
(33:21):

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Bucks. Wi Fi has evidently gone out. Power may have
gone out. I'm solo. We'll see when Buck can come
back and join us. But I wanted to let you know.
Crockett Coffee is amazing and I used it this morning
because I needed it this morning after I got back
after two thirty awesome night celebrating Trump, but an earth
morning tern to do Fox News this morning and now
(35:03):
we're powering in here in the Washington, DC studio. So
go check it out Crocketcofee dot com. I'll sign a
book for you headed back home to Nashville this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And when I do that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you sign up and get subscribed, you will get
an autograph copy of my most recent book if you
use codebook at Crocketcoffee dot com. The lies are coming
fast and furious already, as desperation is setting in on
the left. And now if you supported Trump, you're like
a poor person during the Civil War who fought for
(35:36):
the South. That's according to MSNBC. Listen to this cut
is the same.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Thing repeating itself of what happened in the Civil War
in the aftermath, where the working class whites of the
South who had nothing to benefit by maintaining the system,
nothing because they got nothing out of it. They got
nothing out of the plantations, they got nothing out of it.
But we're convinced, because of cultural sort of language and division,
that a white working class who should have sided with
(36:02):
the North in this, and should have sided with more
freedom and should have sided with the freed slaves, ended
up becoming part of that sort of awful thing, and
that led through civil rights and that powerful people.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And this is my fear today.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Back then, powerful people convinced the white working class was
not the rich, wasn't the enemy who were gobbling up everything.
It was these cultural elites that were the enemy in
their mind. And it's the same thing is happening today.
The powerful people are trying to segment off the white
working class who are getting no benefit from this and
will suffer in the Trump premiacy in the Trump presidency.
(36:36):
But the same thing is repeating itself.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
MSNBC thinks you're morons if you voted for Trump and
that you believe in slavery. Ironic move in many ways,
considering this is the largest amount of black and Hispanics
support we have seen since nineteen sixty four or more.
